A planning application submitted to the city of Reno shows the Sears store at Meadowood Mall being split into three separate tenants from its current one. A commercial real estate sales flyer shows the Sears shrinking to accommodate a new entertainment venue, called Round1.

The planning application and sales flyer show the two-story department store being shrunk to one quarter of the ground floor while still occupying the entire second floor of its current location.

A portion of the Sears Auto Center in the Meadowood Mall parking lot is also listed in the sales flyer as seeking a tenant, preferably a 17,800 square-foot restaurant tenant.

The RGJ has reached out to Seritage — the owners of Sears — Sears corporate and the architects multiple times with no response. A Meadowood Mall spokesperson said they could not comment on the plans. The RGJ requested comment from Round1, too.

The Sears is currently opened and operating. It has a "Now Hiring" sign on the front door and regular sales with no signs of going out of business.

"The renovation's overall intent is to provide distinct identities for each new tenants [sic] while maintaining and updating the architecture language to match the rest of the mall," according to the application.

The renovation would "break up the monotonous [sic] of the existing box" and add new materials, such as woods, stone and metal to the exterior of the Sears building.

Sears will be closing 150 stores this year, according to a January release from Sears. The Reno store was not on the list.
